Kernel.org's IPv6 address ends in ":1991:8:25", the date Linux was announced
I was dig-ing through some hosts to check IPv6 support when I noticed kernel.org's AAAA record: 2600:3c04:e001:324:0:1991:8:25 That suffix (::1991:8:25), is August 25, 1991, the day Linus Torvalds posted his famous annou…

With a terminal built right in, I should be able to add repositories and install other apps, so it'll be interesting to see what can be done. My next order of business will be figuring out how to install common desktop packages like ffmpeg or Distrobox on this device. Jolla C2 Community Phone Brand Jolla SoC

WSL initially made its debut back in 2016, and since then, it has progressed significantly, going from a purely terminal-based tool to adding support for GUI apps, as well as adding support for systemd, a key component in many Linux distros. The fa
